Description

Cewethir is a medium sized man with a shaved head and deep blue eyes. His hair is actually blonde, and quite ample if he were to let it grow, but Cewethir has long since given up trying to keep the coal dust out of his hair and finds it easier to shear it off. His body is lean, but muscular and his position has guildmaster has not softened the strength he built during the mines.

His speech is frequently interrupted by coughing, and he carries finely made handkerchiefs wherever he goes.

Cewethir wasn't involved in the conflict between Galgewe and Silnquost. His absence was intentional, as he saw little to be gained by joining one side or another. He surreptiously moved his wife and family outside the city walls once the violence started, hiding them at one of his properties outside the walls of the city. This has caused some internal conflict, as his wife is a very devout Morenthianplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMorenth

As the primary place of worship for a population of six thousand, the House of Morenth is an enormous structure, perhaps five or six hundred feet across at the longest, but it's not just one big rectangular building. It looks like it's been added to many times over hundreds of years. Whether the building is bigger or smaller underground is impossible to tell. It is known that a library exists under the House, to which access is severely restricted. Expensive glass windows d…

Description

Makierrei is a short man, about five two, potbellied and of medium build. His arms hang out a bit, as if he were a much heavier man than he actually is. He is balding and wears a moustache, which parallels heavy eyebrows. Almost comical when described, he is disappointingly ordinary in person.

Cewethir has not been seen in the city since the earthquake, the after-effects of which have occupied much of his time as of late.

Kreemon woke up hurting all over. He lifted himself slowly, only realizing he was lying on a table top when his motion unbalanced the makeshift stretcher, twisting it out of Ziedon's sore and tired hands, and sending it crashing to the ground. Kreemon rolled a couple times on the ground before colliding with the filthy wall of the alley. Weak from his many wounds, he lifted himself carefully on the palms of his hands, and saw

The day got worse and worse for Ziedon. The volume of the chant became louder, until at times it was almost impossible to concentrate. It would then soften, but never as much as the last time. Ziedon felt he was running out of time to deal with this problem, and given how the last fight with the priests went, he would probably need help, and a good plan. He had just decided that, when the chanting reached a crescendo more powerful than any before it.
